There’s nothing quite like waking up to hot fluffy and crispy mouth-watering waffles. They’re more fun than pancakes, tastier than plain old toast and more fun to make than muesli. This recipe is perfect for four people (or half the recipe for two people).

RED CACAO’S CLASSIC TOPPING (or build your own!)
- Sprinkle of icing sugar
- Adelaide Hills strawberries cut into quarters
- A healthy drizzle of chocolate sauce (melt down Red Cacao Chocolate Drops to make proper chocolate sauce)
- A generous amount of shaved Red Cacao Milk Chocolate
- A good scoop of Golden North Vanilla Ice Cream
EQUIPMENT
- Waffle iron (you can pick one up from good old Kmart for around $30)
- Mixing bowl
- Silicone mixing spoon
- Whisk
METHOD
- Melt butter on the stove on low heat. Set aside when melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, and eggs. Then fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Preheat your waffle iron and, using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat with butter. Cook waffles (using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve and build waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve.
